Famous quotes containing the word society:

    “The Fitchburg Railroad touches the pond about a hundred rods south of where I dwell. I usually go to the village along its causeway, and am, as it were, related to society by this link. The men on the freight trains, who go over the whole length of the road, bow to me as to an old acquaintance, they pass me so often, and apparently they take me for an employee; and so I am. I too would fain be a track-repairer somewhere in the orbit of the earth.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A society which allows an abominable event to burgeon from its dungheap and grow on its surface is like a man who lets a fly crawl unheeded across his face or saliva dribble unstemmed from his mouth—either epileptic or dead.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “A society made up of individuals who were all capable of original thought would probably be unendurable.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
